SYNOPSIS

Set
in 1943, baseball is banned in Japan as "a sport of the enemy
country" as Japan is at war with the U.S. The baseball match between
Waseda University and Keio University (the So-Kei game), which is hugely
popular nationwide, is no exception. Despite the harsh conditions, students
and faculty members decide to make arrangements to hold "one last So-Kei
game" to give a send-off to students who may be drafted to war at
anytime and may not return alive. Based on true story.
